El Cancho

Activities

• Tarifa is a mecca for kite and windsurfers from all over the world, and surf schools can be found along the beach. Of these, 100% Fun is particularly popular and has a good reputation
  
  
• Keen bird watchers need step no further than the terrace. The house sits directly under one of the most important bird migration roots between Europe and Africa, and from October to June you'll see flocks of white storks, black storks, lesser kestrels, short-toed eagles, Egyptian vultures, sparrowhawks, red and black kites, marsh and Montagu's harriers, ospreys, buzzards, booted eagles and more
  
  
• Go hiking: the house is within a natural park, so you can set off on foot for wonderful walks and breathtaking views
  
  
• Try deep-sea fishing or rent a motorbike and explore the countryside. Both of these can be arranged in Tarifa
  
  
• Head to the Hurricane Hotel (opposite the turn-off to the house) for a riding lesson, or arrange a hack along the beach at sunset
  
  
• Have a round of golf: there's a course near Vejer de la Frontera (approximately 25 minutes' drive)
  
  
• Take the ferry from Tarifa port to Tangier and visit the souks. Be warned though: they say the crossing is a mere 35 minutes, but you actually end up being on the ferry for almost 2 hours, so allow extra time
  
  
• Stroll along the beach or venture north towards Punta Paloma and Bolonia and you'll be able to walk to some gorgeous secluded coves
